In IPL 2026, the match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is to be played at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. In the points table, Hyderabad is at second place with 14 points and Gujarat is at third place with 14 points. Whichever team wins the match today, it will go to the first place, leaving behind RCB, which is at the first place with 16 points. In such a situation, an exciting match is expected today.

Orange cap holder and Sunrisers wicketkeeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen can achieve a big achievement in the match between Gujarat and Hyderabad. Klaasen has played 60 matches so far in his IPL career, which started in 2018, and has scored 1974 runs at an average of 42.91 and strike rate of 166.44. During this period, he has scored 2 centuries and 12 half-centuries. If Klaasen manages to score 26 more runs against Gujarat, he will reach 2000 IPL runs and will become the seventh South African batsman to achieve this feat.

Klaasen is in great form this season. He has scored 494 runs in 11 innings of 11 matches. As soon as he scores 6 runs against Gujarat, his 500 runs will be completed. He can become the first batsman to touch the 500-run mark this season. Also, this will be the first time that Klaasen will touch the 500-run mark in a season. This is Klaasen’s best season in terms of total runs.

Before Klaasen, the batsmen who have scored 2000 or more runs in IPL include AB de Villiers (5162 runs in 184 matches between 2008 to 2021), Faf Duplessis (4773 runs in 154 matches between 2012 to 2025), Quinton De Kock (3,441 runs in 118 matches between 2013 to 2026), David The names of Miller (3251 runs in 150 matches from 2012 to 2026), Jacques Kallis (2427 runs in 98 matches between 2008 to 2014), and JP Duminy (2029 runs in 83 matches between 2009 to 2018) are included.
